Abstract & Overview
The construction industry has been historically slow to digitize, slow to increase productivity, and has dealt with recurring obstacles such as cost overruns, safety accidents, and sustainability challenges. AI and IoT technologies offer alternative perspectives and be the binding agents to address these systemic challenges through data-driven decision-making throughout the lifecycle of a construction project. The IoT networks present the greatest visibility to worksites through a number of distributed devices such as sensors, wearables, and connected devices. [9]These systems produce real-time data streams of activity. For example, the AI algorithms analyze the data streams and produce actionable insights. Supervised machine learning, predictive analytics will draw feedback from the best practices learned. The AI and IoT technologies can deliver closed-loop optimization systems where physical operational processes will continually feedback into a digital model of the worksite, and vice versa [10][2].
